Keating | K000375 | keating.house.gov | keating | https://keating.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | “The Georgian government’s recent decision to suspend its EU accession negotiations coupled with the passage of the so-called “foreign agents law” has laid bare what we have long suspected: this government has shown no interest in pursuing the Euro-Atlantic ambitions of its citizens. As the Georgian people have taken to the streets to protest this betrayal of their hopes and dreams, the Georgian government has responded with violent beatings and arrests of protestors, opposition figures, and journalists. We wholeheartedly condemn these actions which undermine Georgia’s prosperous, democratic, and European future. In response to the Georgian government’s actions, we support the suspension of the U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership. Further, we believe the U.S. must impose additional targeted financial sanctions and visa restrictions against Georgian officials who undermine democracy in the country and have facilitated the violent crackdown against protesters, civil society, opposition figures, and journalists. These actions are in direct response to the Georgian government’s decisions, which have unsurprisingly received praise from the Kremlin. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
